Tim Winton: A Celebration

Compiled and edited by Hilary McPhee for the Friends of the National Library of Australia

Each year, the Friends of the National Library of Australia celebrate the work of an eminent figure in the world of Australian literature and publishing. This volume features four fascinating essays about Tim Winton's life and work. The essays range from Helen Garner's evocation of her longstanding friendship with Winton to Martin Flanagan's exploration of Winton's sense of place and belonging to Hilary McPhee's account of her experiences as Winton's former publisher--and they conclude with Michael McGirr's reflections on Winton as a writer. This is an important book about one of Australia's most important authors.
